Published as part of a series on 'handmade life' in 1977.  Around the late 1970’s sashiko started to become popular as a hobby for a lot of people who didn’t necessarily have any strong family or community connection to traditional sashiko. This book is interesting because it's the earliest book published on sashiko for hobbyists. It has a few pages talking about  sashiko and a number of traditional and less traditional patterns (maekake apron, nagoya obi, jackets, cushions, tablecloth etc) with colour and black and white photos.  Hard cover - in near perfect condition 80 pages, 24cm x 19cm x 1cm.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Catamaran; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Yu Gothic'; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-language: JA; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\"\u003eThis is a treasure - and I'll get more copies in when I find them. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Catamaran; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Yu Gothic'; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-language: JA; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\"\u003ePrice includes GST and regular postage within Australia\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Wafu Works","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44657813553314,"sku":"","price":48.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0342\/4740\/9797\/files\/retrosashikobook_2_1d04b146-9ea3-4185-8f5c-d3d1808e917f.jpg?v=1718858144","url":"https:\/\/www.wafuworks.com.au\/products\/retro-1977-sashiko-book-japanese","provider":"Wafu Works","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
